Sen. Lindsey Graham Tells Radio Host Democratic Debate ‘Made Me Sick’

Sen. Lindsey Graham, who is competing for the Republican presidential nomination, told Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council that watching the Democratic debate made him sick.

“It makes me feel so sad that the Democratic Party has dropped so far when it comes to defending the nation,” Graham said.

Perkins told Graham that while the Democratic debate “was all about what they could give away in order to get votes,” he believes the Republican candidates are focused on the safety and security of the United States.

Graham agreed, adding “If I were ISIL, the ayatollah, or Assad I would be pulling for the Democrats because their foreign policy is leading further from behind than Obama.” Graham went on to say everyone in the Democratic Party, “had an isolationist, disengagement policy regarding radical islam.”

Graham also suggested that Democratic candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders “would shut down the NSA program so we couldn’t detect the next terrorist attack.”

“I pray that we get a president in 2017 that will stand up,” Graham said.
